If no human being can be perfect, why did Jesus tell His disciples to be perfect?

Three decades ago a co-worker of mine was rendered paraplegic by a thief. A group of believers and myself went to her home to comfort her. We talked about the brevity of life on earth and everlasting life in heaven, etc., but not long after that, one of our fellow believers bluntly asked the...

I'm not a law-keeper, but I still haven't found a single piece of evidence -- in the Gospels -- that Jesus ever told us to stop keeping the Law. Should we rely solely on what Paul said?

Why do so many people hate cats? I "learned" in elementary school that cats love our homes, not us, and the defamation campaign continues to this day. Even "science" tries to "prove" that cats are concerned only about themselves and that they don't really care about us. What is the truth about...

A well known preacher in my denomination was found to have been cheating on his wife for the last two years. He has already been permanently removed from his ministry and the only question now is: Can he still be saved? Is it possible "to renew him again to repentance "? (Heb 6:4)

Dam collapse in Brazil. Accident or crime? On the left upper quadrant of the photo below is the site where hundreds of workers were eating lunch when the dam collapsed, and to this date over a hundred of them are still buried in the sludge. Why did the mining company choose a site below the...

Jesus told His disciples to sell their properties and give alms; told them to wash (literally) one another's feet; to obey the scribes and Pharisees; perform sacrifices according to the Law; etc. Through His personal example Jesus taught us to keep the Sabbath and observe the festivals. Jesus...

Why did Paul say women will be saved through childbearing? 1 Timothy 2:15 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one...

Is there any difference between the "Law of God" and the "Law of Moses"?

If you google Paul false apostle you'll get hundreds of thousands of results. Of course, not all results contain opinions against Paul, but I estimate that at least half of them state that he departed from the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. There are also those who don't go to the...

Galatians chapter 1 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—7 which is really no gospel at all. If the "different gospel" was not grace + the law of Moses, what was it then?

Most wife beaters are also adulterers, but there are exceptions. In case the monster is "faithful" what would be the biblical basis for divorce?

My flesh hates suffering, but my soul has a different view of it. Difficulties can make us get closer to God and this is the greatest of all blessings. Do you have any story of blessing in disguise to share with us? Let me tell you the story of Marcos Sanches, a homeless drug addict who lost...

Lois A. Tverberg says in one of her books that "to fulfill the Law" is a Rabbinic Idiom that is still in use today. What she writes makes sense because no Jew ever asked Jesus: ‘Lord, what do you mean by “fulfill the Law” ‘? Most probably everybody in Judea knew the meaning of those words...

Given that nobody -- not even the hardcore religious Jew -- keeps the entire Law, can anyone give us a list of Mitzvot that apply to Christians and can be possibly observed today?

We all know that Jesus preached to the Jews while Paul preached to the Gentiles. I feel that Jesus brought the Law to its full expression just to show the Jews that no one can be saved by keeping it. Here are some evidences that some of Jesus’ teachings were for the Jews only: Matthew 5:20 For...

Augustine's comparison of Cain with the Jews and Abel with Christ (or his church) seems rather good to me. Many protestants, however, reject it maybe just because Augustine was Catholic. The Jews deep inside knew that God was pleased with Jesus and that's why they got jealous and killed Him...
